Braeden Campbell has played through the grief of losing his grandfather on Friday to help the Sydney Swans secure a home AFL preliminary final. The Swans came from behind to defeat the GWS Giants on Saturday, with several players standing up in an incredible fourth quarter. But none deserved more plaudits than Campbell. The 22-year-old started as the substitute and was inserted into the action in the third quarter. He stood up in the fourth, kicking one goal from his eight touches in that term.

Coleman Medal winner Jesse Hogan had the Giants on-song early with two goals, before a desperate James Rowbottom made it seven points the difference at the first change. After a quiet build-up to the match, tensions finally boiled over in an all-in melee when Giants skipper Toby Greene was too slow to give the ball over to Papley for an after-the-siren free kick. Papley then hit the scoreboard in the second term, but the Giants broke out to a 21-point lead after kicking three unanswered goals.
